We discussed this a bit on the IRC, and I proposed following the
general open source synchronized six month release schedule. This
typically means Feb/Aug for libraries, Mar/Sep for applications, and
Apr/Oct for distributions. This helps the downstream in two ways:
* People writing applications that depend on Zeta have a reliable
schedule they can work with ("I know feature X will be there in
February 2011"). They also have enough time to update their
application to use the latest library before distributions ship
* If we want to have Zeta in distributions, then each
Ubuntu/Fedora/whatever release will have a fresh Zeta version
